By Ranked #450 - Men's Softshell Jackets November 12, 2008

Does anyone know how this compares to the Backcountry.com Rime Softshell? I know they're both made of Power Shield, but it looks like this might be a bit heavier. I like the Rime for fall/spring and this looks like it'd be great for the winter. Any comments? Is it any thicker/heavier than the Rime even though it's the same base material?

The Shift softshell is a heavier material, and as you said perfect for fall/winter/spring. even though a little heavier, it has a full zip, hand warmer pockets, and more durable face fabric. the rime is great for spring/summer/fall, and half the weight of a shift jacket.
